Hello, friends.
Hello, acquaintances.
Hello, family.
I have yet to sign myself into an asylum as I am not quite screaming bonkers (to this point). Signs to the contrary are - well....they're contrary.
The first one-thousand pieces are together, and (hopefully) Row A will be complete by nightfall.
Yes, I am still working on the 16K monstrosity. Computations show I've managed to cut nearly 400 different materials (grammar police, do your thing) to get to this milestone!
=^. .^=
There is no sun today so I will be assembling the final square-and-1/3 using overhead lights. I find that tends to muck with the color values to some degree, so I end up comparing each piece with previous color choices from earlier blocks to keep the quilt even and true to itself. It's a bother and takes more time, but I need to finish this first row today. I have to have this progress for myself.
Each row consists of 1,130 pieces; those are sewn into 11.3 blocks (yup, that last 1/3 block is really a strip block of 3x10). With the completion each row I will have assembled the equivalent of approximately one-quarter of PQ1! By the time I finish with this 'masterpiece' I will have sewn through the equivalent of more than three-and-three-quarters PQ1s!! 3.9 PQ1s to be more precise. That quilt is 4,225 pieces, not including the back and binding.
Hhmmm....maybe a whole cloth quilt wouldn't be a bad idea, eh?
